A very happy book birthday to REEL LIFE by @kaneicaruslynch.bsky.social! It was such a joy to work with Kane on this heartfelt, nuanced, beautifully illustrated, and deeply human book. I'm immensely proud of it and I know it'll mean a lot to readers. Go grab a copy wherever books are sold!

And another special mazel tov to my good friend @jonahnewmancomics.bsky.social RE his “best publication for teens” nom for his debut graphic novel, OUT OF LEFT FIELD!

I told Jonah when it came out that I was stunned by his achievement. It’s everything it needs to be. Glad the Eisner folks agree!

Young readers become adult readers, and considering distressing data showing that kids are reading less, it's more important than ever to advocate for reading. Join me in supporting the CBC's #ChildrensBookWeek! #StoryOcean
